I don't see why there has been so much doom and gloom last few days. Other than the typical weenie banter, can someone point me to a big red flag? What is pointing to a ratter? What's wrong with near avg snow in December? I don't see an obvious feature showing me that we are in for a crap month. Trust me, I always tend to look for problems down the road...but nothing really stands out. I do think we may need patience into mid month (that does not mean we can't sneak something), but I don't see anything that makes me want to throw my laptop into the Atlantic.
